Safety, trust & environment
Currently I have 2 cats that live in my apartment with me and they are very well taken care of (probably even a little too spoiled!) I don’t have a yard and cannot take pets into my apartment but I can stay in clients homes or do drop-ins. I am very trustworthy as I have worked in the veterinary field for 5+ years so I have lots of experience with patient confidentiality as well as pet care and experience. I am trained in animal first aid in case of an urgent situation as well as having access to high quality veterinary contacts. I am also comfortable with handling and calming nervous or anxious animals that might feel the need to act out at unknown circumstances
Ratings and reviews
Sara took care of my two senior dogs at my home. She did a fine job. The dogs and my home were well cared.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone, so we were understandably nervous, but Sara made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. We were gone for two nights and 3 days, and she took amazing care of our dogs in our home. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When we returned, everything was in great shape, and we knew they had been in the best hands. We highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Sara handled our anxious ridden diabetic cat so well while we were gone. It was our first time putting the responsibility of blood glucose testing and insulin injections in someone else’s hands and Sara put our minds at ease while we were gone. Our kitty is not the easiest thing to put up with and we are so grateful for Sara doing it for us! We will definitely use her again!
Sara did a great job taking care of our dog Peri. She sent updates throughout the weekend and kept up with Peri’s medication schedule too.
Sara was communicative and did really well with our pups. We have a 6 month old puppy who is high energy so I know it took a lot of attention and energy.
Sara took wonderful care of our girls. She sent photos, texted us updates, and took good care of our home. Definitely will book again!

Schedule
I’m currently employed full time as a veterinary technician so my daytime hours are limited. However, I can do overnight sitting in a clients home, occasionally check ins and walks for more self sufficient animals. I am free before 6:30 am after 7 pm Mon-Fri and have open availability most weekends. I can do drop-in appointments to give medications for more independent animals. I also offer at-home nail trims for cats and dogs that are okay with being handled and held. If this service interests you, please message me for more details.

- I need to know ahead of time if they have any sort of health concern, physical ailment, and their level of socialization around people and animals. I also need to know how long they can go between visits during the daytime. For all pets I would also appreciate having general vaccine information so I can make sure I take them to appropriate environments. This is especially important for puppies and dogs under the age of 2. I can also administer medications so any of those required I need to know of.
